Sketchup SKP export

Hi Simon, I am definitely interested in doing a sketch style render directly in MoI in the future sometime, that kind of a style is a fun way to present your model!

But it will probably be a fair ways out before I'll be able to focus time on that area. It is really hard at this point to guess at a timeline for it.

Could you please post a sample simple .3dm file of something that you wish worked better?

That would let me try doing some tests and let me send back the experimental .skp to you to see if it does what you need better.

It may be possible for me to do something like emit one extra polyline for every edge in the MoI model which may do what you need, or at least get closer. I did a very quick initial test of it and it seems to be better for sketchy styles, but it will probably have to be an optional thing that you enable because it looks like some of the extra polylines created in this way can kind of remain stuck in their original positions when you try to do certain push/pulls of the model. But it does not seem to cause duplicate rendering issues so much which I thought would be a bad problem.
